\n

A tangled web of lies\, misdirected
advances\, and the unmistakable confusion of love\, The Liar has all of t
he ingredients that make for a great French farce.

\n

The truth will
set most people free\, but for Dorante (our disingenuous hero)\, a sequenc
e of fibs may pave a convoluted road to happiness. A hilarious farce about
mistaken identity\, The Liar was originally penned by the classic 17th-ce
ntury French playwright Pierre Corneille\, in 1664. This adaptation by awa
rd-winning American playwright David Ives merges the iambic humor of class
ic verse with a contemporary twist.
